Chapter 10: Pokemon of Monstrueux Proportions
You know...I'm starting to recognize French words when I look at stuff thanks to this. I saw "cheveux" on my hair conditioner and knew what it said! XD I know that probably sounds lame, but I was pretty happy. :333
Gyop: Ah, I see. ;) Haha! That's kinda funny. YES! GUESS HIS NAME SERENA! So then she can get her hat back! :3
Titan Flavored Birthday Cake: Sorry! I love cliffhangers. ;) You and everyone else will have NO idea what to expect for the entire fanfic. :P ^-^
Leafeonlover: Yes! I love multiple personalities too! (Which is why the character in my Pokemon Emerald fanfiction has two personalities as well. She's...crazy.) Who said it was a pokemon? ;) I think you just read real fast. :P Glad you're liking it. ^.^
EmeraldRhino: OF COURSE I KNOW! I'm the AUTHOR! :P Haha! Thanks!
Also, I wanted to tell those who have read my "Black and White": I decided to alert you guys that I'm rewriting it. :33 It'll have more too it, better writing, and a more interesting plot overall. (No, I'm not tossing the entire plot away. Just wait and see what I do. XD ) A lot of people I've told are excited...I'm actually surprised. :)

I call out to Shauna who is looking around in confusion as the man in the martial arts uniform runs off with someone else. "It's that time already?" I hear him mutter as he leaves.
"What's going on?" I inquire.
She shrugs. "They said something about Route 7...but I'm not entirely sure." She keeps looking around.
"Qu'est-ce?" I ask.
"Right after you went upstairs, Xavier disappeared," Shauna says. "I assumed he followed you, but he's not with you so..."
My spine stiffens. He disappeared...around the same time the Héros of Kalos did. That...can't be a coincidence...can it?
Shauna grabs my hand. "C'mon! Let's follow and see what the commotion was. I'm sure Xavier will pop back up eventually." She then proceeds to drag me outside. "Which way is Route 7...?" she murmurs to herself, before promptly strutting towards a Route called Riviére Lane. "Wow, what is that?" Shauna says once we stop in confusion in front of a bridge.
"Here we go again," says the man in the uniform. "It's sleeping so soundly that even the end of the world wouldn't wake it."
"Look!" says the other one. "It's practically a mountain, right? It's blocking the road completely! Sir, use the Poke Flute!"
I walk over to them as Shauna inches forward, biting her nails.
"Oh wait...you don't have it anymore, do you...?" the man continues.
"Nope, I handed it over," the first says with a sigh, but also looks a little angry while saying it. "Or you could say it was taken...by the owner of the palace."
"What? Huh?" Shauna pipes up. "What about a Poke Flute?"
The two men turn to us. "Oh," says the uniform man. "Basically, the Poke Flute is what we need to wake up Snorlax, but it's at the palace..."
I walk over to the large Pokemon, crouch down, and begin poking it while the others talk.
"Oh, that's it?" Shauna says. "All we need to do is go and get it!" She turns to me. "Let's go to Parfum Palace to get it! We might even learn about Mega Evolution!"
I turn to look over my shoulder at Shauna when I hear a loud noise. Whipping back around, I watch with wide eyes as the Snorlax rolls over. I move, but not fast enough.
BOOM!
I gasp; the Snorlax has my lower body completely stuck under its stomch. I try to pull myself out, but it's futile.
"Sére!" Shauna yelps. "Are you okay!?"
"Don't call me that," I grunt. "Et puis-je regarder bien?"
She bites her lip. "No..." Shauna says. "But...I'll hurry and get the Poke Flute! Just hang on Sére, and don't die!"
I grunt in pain. "Just go already..."
Shauna's P.O.V.
I run towards the Palais Lane and look around worriedly. Which way was it? That's when I see someone.
"Xavier?" I call out, and he walks over to me, yawning.
"Yeah?"
I run up to him. "Where have you been?" I ask, and look at his sleeve. "Why is your sleeve singed?"
He crosses his arms behind his back and shrugs, "Nothin'..."
I blink; this isn't the time to worry about that! "Xavier! Serena got sat on by a large Snorlax! I need to get the Poke Flute from that palace over there because apparently it was stolen or something, and we need to get it back so that the martial arts guy can wake up Snorlax!"
Xavier blinks at me, "You'll have to run that by me again," he says. "I definitely didn't catch that..."
I huff and tap my foot impatiently. "Just come with me! Or Serena might die!"
His eyes widen. "Why didn't you say that before?! Let's go!" He starts running down towards Parfum Palace and I'm right on his tail. After passing underneath a grove of perfectly placed trees, several trainers wanting to battle that we escape from, as well as some angry pokemon, we arrive at the golden gates of the palace. I gasp, putting my hands on my knees as Xavier talks to the man with the mustache.
"The entrance fee is 1,000 Poke per person," he says.
I give him an incredulous look. "Oh for the love of MEW!" I huff. "This is how the rich get richer. I hate rich people."
Xavier looks a little uncomfortable at my comment, and reaches into his pocket. "Here, take this and let's hurry," he says, "Serena is waiting."
The old man opens the intricately woven gates and we rush towards the door. Upon bursting through them, we see a middle aged man standing in front of a Milotic statue with a worried look on his face.
"Where is it!?" he yelps. "Where!?" He runs around in circles. "My Furfrou! My beloved Furfrou has disappeared!"
Xavier and I exchange a look. "We should look for the Furfrou," I tell him. "If my pokemon were too..." I shake my head. "It's the right thing to do, so let's look!"
Xavier purses his lips. "Alright, but this better not take too long. Serena is in danger, remember?" he says.
I nod, "Let's go!" I point towards the back door and the two of us rush through it. We cross an arching bridge that has a large statue of a knight and Golurk on the left before reaching a garden. Xavier and I stop, looking around.
"Ummm..." I start. "Perhaps Furfrou is in one of those hedges?"
Xavier shrugs and we run through several of them before I spot something white poking up out of the.
"Regardez!" I exclaim, and Xavier glances over to where I'm pointing. "Let's go!"
He follows me as we dash and jump over the hedges. "Fuuuuu!" the pokemon yelps, and runs away.
"Ack!" I grunt. "It's like a wild Swanna chase!"
Xavier stops. "Let's form a plan," he says, but I'm not listening.
"FURFROUUUU!" I call, and run towards it. Suddenly, the Furfrou stops, and turns on me. "EH?"
WHACK!
The Pokemon headbutts me into a fountain and I come out spitting water. "BLEH!" I cough, and look over to see it charging AT ME! Jumping up, I start running away from the Furfrou. "Xavierrrr!" I yelp, as we run in circles while the brunette just watches, slightly amused. "Stop it!" I shriek, and feel my legs giving out.
I glance over at the Furfrou as it bares down on me, but it never sends me flying. Someone else does.
THUMP.
I open my eyes and realize that Xavier had tackled me out of the way. I look up at him as he gets off me, and I blush.
"I'll get it," he says with a sigh, and shrugs off his jacket.
Turning around, the Furfrou glares at us. "FUUUU!" it growls, and charges at Xavier, who divers into a roll and pops back up, shaking his jacket.
"Over here!" he calls, and leads the Pokemon away. After a solid minute of pissing the pokemon off, it finally turns tail and starts running away again. Apparently Xavier was waiting for this, and had cornered it between some tall hedges. Leaping forward, he tackles the pokemon to the ground while covering its eyes with his jacket.
"GOTCHA!" he says, and holds it down.
I sprint over to him, my eyes wide. "H-how did you do that?" I wonder.
He picks up the now calmed down Furfrou. "I just did it!" he says with a smile, and we head out of the courtyard and back inside the palace.
"Furfrou! My dear Furfrou!" someone shouts. "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO KIDNAP IT!"
Xavier and I exchange a look. "Ummm..."
The man who had been wailing before grabs a sword from one of the knight statues and begins chasing us with it.
"SHI-!"
"MERDE-!"
Xavier and I both start and run in the opposite direction. "Why does he think we're stealing his Furfrou!?" I yelp.
"Probably because I'm carrying it like I am, and that we're running away!"
"Then shouldn't we stop running!?" I exclaim.
"Do YOU wanna get chopped up by that sword!?" he asks as we sprint up some stairs.
"NO!" I confirm, and we run and hide in one of the many rooms. The sound of the crazy man passes the room we're in by, and we both let out a sigh of relief.
"That guy...is insane," Xavier comments, setting Furfrou down. "Hey buddy, could you tell your rich friend guy we're not trying to kidnap you?"
The pokemon looks up at us and barks. "Fuuu!" He trots outside.
"FURFROU! MY DARLING!" the man exclaims; Xavier and I peek through the door to see him petting the pokemon.
"He still has the sword!" I hiss.
Xavier walks out calmly. "Sir, we were not trying to steal your Furfrou. You were freaking out about it being lost and we went to find it," he says, and the man looks up before pointing his sword at Xavier's throat.
"YOU THIEVES-" he starts, but pales. "Oh...it's you! Uh...I'm so very sorry your-!"
Xavier holds up a hand. "Whatever, I'm just glad Furfrou is okay." The man lowers his sword and apologizes several times. I creep out of the room and stand by Xavier.
"Phew," I say. "We didn't get sliced and diced."
Xavier grins, "Yeah..."
"Let me show my humblest apologizes for chasing you as well as my thanks for finding Furfrou with a firework display," the rich man says. "Please rendezvous at the balcony and I'll set them off."
Xavier and I exchange a glance. "Alright."
The two of us head upstairs again and even though we get lost several times, we arrive at the balcony. The two of us stand side by side at the edge. I feel my cheeks burning. "Umm..you know..." I start. "I've never watched fireworks alone with a boy before..." I glance to the side at the Dratini statues as water cascades down towards fountains below.
"Huh..." Xavier says.
I look down. "We haven't even seen the fireworks yet, but I believe we're never gonna forget them!" I tell him. "With this entire situation and all...but also because I watched them with you, Xavier."
He blinks over at me and puts his hands in his pockets. "Yeah...I guess so."
I smile as the fireworks begin, and sparks explode above our heads. They end and I turn around to see the rich man.
"Those were my amazing Furfrou fireworks!" he says, spreading his arms out graciously.
I suddenly shriek loudly and Xavier jumps. "OH! J'ai presque oublié!" I yelp. "Sir! We came here to get something called the Poke Flute. Apparently a large Snorlax is in town and it sat on my friend Serena!"
The man looks at me in surprise. "Well..." he says, and glances at Xavier. "Go get it." He motions for the butler to leave. After a moment, he returns and hands me a slender item with a large end that looks like a pokeball.
"Thank you!" I exclaim, clutching the flute. "We'll return it as soon as we save Serena!"
Xavier and I run from the palace. "Oh, Shauna?" he asks as we arrive on Route 7. "I should tell you...my real name is Calem."
I blink. "It's not...Xavier?" I say in confusion.
He shakes his head, "Just don't tell Serena," he says.
I frown. "How come?"
A light smile plays on his lips. "It's...fun to tease her."
I shrug to myself. "Okay."
The two of us stop at the bridge. "Serena!" I yelp, and run over to her. She's grunting loudly in pain/
"It's okay!" the martial arts man says. "Just take deep breaths!"
"Shut up!" Serena growls.
"Jeez, it sounds like you're having a baby," Xavier/Calem says and smirks.
Serena glares at him. "You piece of merde.." she growls. "I am not having a baby. I am being crushed by a Snorlax!"
Calem doesn't understand what she's saying and continues smiling.
"Here's the Poke Flute!" I say, handing it to the martial arts man. "I'll play this now," he says, and begin, a beautiful melody rings through the air and we watch as the Snorlax sits up and yawns.
"SNORRR..." it says.
Xavier and the other man run over and pull Serena up. She falls against Calem, looking very exhausted.
That's when I notice Xavier's jacket is missing. He must've dropped it when we got chased; all he's wearing now is a plain white t-shirt.
"You'll have to get a new jacket.." I mutter.
Serena's P.O.V.
I lean into Xavier, and my head rests against his chest. "Do you like me hugging you?" he smirks at me, and I realize that his personality has changed again. I try to push him away, but my legs aren't working so I can't support myself.
I tip over, and Xavier catches me as a Pokeball falls out of my bag and rolls towards Snorlax. My eyebrows shoot up high as it bumps into the Pokemon's foot and Snorlax disappears.
Ding! The pokeball clicks and I stare.
"What...just happened?" I murmur.
The martial arts man picks it up and hands it to me. "Looks like you earned yourself a Snorlax!"
I take the ball and put it away before pushing on Xavier's face to make him let me go.
"You want me to drop you?" he asks and I nod, and he does.
THUMP.
"Oof!" I grunt, and try to stand; it doesn't work.
Xavier smirks at me even bigger. "Alright Lady S/Colette," he says, "you're going to have to drop your pride and allow me to carry you."
"No chance you étrange garçon."
"Sére...!" Xavier says, his eyes glinting with an odd light. "I'll take you to Parfum Palace since you missed it when Shauna and I went," he says, and scoops me up.
"Put me down this instant!" I say. "Maintenant!"
He doesn't listen and carries me towards Route 6. "I'll see you later Shauna," he says, glancing over his shoulder at the pigtailed girl. "Remember your promise."
The girl beams at him. "No problem!"
I look between them. What on earth happened at the palace? And why is Xavier acting weird again?
